I'm a designer based in San Francisco, currently shaping the future of autonomous driving at Aurora. Previously at IDEO, I partnered with Fortune 500 companies worldwide to bring human-centered innovation to life.
I’m driven by new possibilities—and it all starts with listening. I believe the most transformative solutions come from putting people at the center, aligning their needs with business goals and emerging technology.
​
My work centers on impact-driven design—uncovering value, amplifying user voices, and crafting products and experiences that people genuinely love and embrace.
Guiding principles
Start with what role should this play in people's lives.
Drive high frequency
and low amplitude conversations.
Vertically embed, breakdown boundaries, co-own.
Listen. Amplify user voice and insights to guide the decision making process.
What is appropriate is more impactful than what is new or cool.
Co-create to see the bigger picture. People support and care what they create.
No prototype, no meeting.
Make your partners successful, they will want to do the same.
Make room for play. We do our best work when we are having fun.
